A Deep Dive into SpaceX’s Recent Milestones and Future Plans | Gearing up for IFT-3

#spacexstarship #spacex #spacexpriority
Hello friends,
Welcome back to another episode of Engineering Today, and I hope you’re all having a great time.

On November 18, 2023, Starship embarked on its second integrated flight test from Starbase in Texas, constituting a significant step in its developmental journey. Although this trial didn’t unfold within the confines of a laboratory or on a controlled test stand, it was undeniably a crucial evaluation. The insights gleaned from this flight are invaluable for the ongoing rapid advancement of Starship.

    Sorry. Hot staging did not work well. Stages separated… that’s it. Both vehicles were then lost. Hot staging needs to be examined as to the possible anomalies.

    SpaceX should avoid doing hard flip maneuvers as in IFT-1 and IFT-2. The hot stage worked exactly because it was straight forward. The upper stage failure could been due to propellant loss or engine failure.

    It’s been almost 60 years since 5 lunar missions went to the moon and it’s like we’re starting from scratch.

    What did they do over at NASA, chuck all of what they learned how to get there out the fucking window?

    Although I know we went to the moon and men walked on the moon, I don’t blame the nay sayers for believing and trying to prove the opposite.

    This is embarrassing, man.

    The biggest problem that needs to be resolved is loss of tiles. Lots of them. And with every Starship available for launch built using the old tile attach mechanisms, the chances of it making it to the ground intact seem doubtful. It’s a problem that will require a rethink to solve.

    Boeing should give the money back to Nasa.. or at least give it to SpaceX who is worth every penny that they spend. Esp as they are not a parasite off of the gov't teet like Boeing

    i hope ist3 is on december 31st so they can still get 5 more next year for 6 total from here through 2024. otherwise it's only 5 unless they get a new FAA approval qty

    You watch Elizabeth Warren will stick warty little nose in SpaceX business. She can't stand to see other be successful apart from her wisdom!! I REALLY HOPE I'M WRONG!!

    It seems like SpaceX is getting pretty close to having this one in the bag. There is still some amount of redesign that needs to happen to get the remaining pieces to fall into place. However, even with say the heat shield tiles, no flying rocket today has recovered a second stage and they are still considered a success, so I am thinking SpaceX will just let the second stage fail on reentry until they have a redesigned heat shield that doesn't get broken on launch. But the important thing is it will be carrying useful payloads to orbit as early as next year and most probably be recovering the 1st stage, making it an economical rocket. Once they fix up the remaining issues, then the economy of the rocket will be even better.
